Added sugars and micronutrient dilution
Livingstone, M.B.E.; Rennie, K.L. (2009)There is increasing concern that high intakes of added sugars promote micronutrient dilution. However, the overall conclusion to emerge from the existing evidence base is that associations between reported intakes of added ... -
Adjusting for energy intake—what measure to use in nutritional epidemiological studies?
Jakes, R.W.; Day, N.E.; Luben, R.; Welch, A.; Bingham, S.; Michell, J.; Hennings, S.; Rennie, K.L.; Wareham, N.J. (2004)The measurement of energy intake in epidemiological studies is difficult. However, it is important that energy intake is assessed if epidemiological analyses are to correspond to isocaloric experiments. The aim of this ... -
Association of physical activity with body-composition indexes in children aged 6–8 years at varied risk of obesity
Rennie, K.L.; Livingstone, M.B.E.; Wells, J.C.K.; McGloin, A.; Coward, W.A.; Jebb, S.A. (2005) -
Associations between dietary added sugar intake and micronutrient intake: a systematic review
Rennie, K.L.; Livingstone, M.B.E. (2007)There is increasing concern that high intakes of added sugars might compromise intakes of micronutrients. The objectives of this systematic review were (1) to determine whether dietary added sugar intake was associated ... -
Associations between the portion sizes of food groups consumed and measures of adiposity in the British National Diet and Nutrition Survey
Kelly, M.T.; Rennie, K.L.; Wallace, J.M.; Robson, P.J.; Welch, R.W.; Hannon-Fletcher, M.P.; Livingstone, M.B.E. (2009)The objective of the present study was to examine the associations between the portion sizes of food groups consumed with measures of adiposity using data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of British adults. ... -
Associations of Physical Activity With Inflammatory Factors, Adipocytokines, and Metabolic Syndrome in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese People
Yu, Z.; Ye, X.W.; Wang, J.; Qi, Q.B.; Franco, O.; Rennie, K.L.; Pan, A.; Li, H.; Liu, Y.; Hu, F.B.; Lin, X. (2009)Inflammatory factors, adipocytokines, and the metabolic syndrome are important determinants of cardiometabolic disease. It remains unclear how physical activity is related to these risk factors. Our objective was to ... -
Behavioural determinants of obesity
Rennie, K.L.; Johnson, L.; Jebb, S.A. (2005)Obesity in children arises from a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility and behaviour, primarily relating to dietary habits and physical activity. Evidence for specific behavioural factors that promote or protect ... -
Can Self-Reported Dieting and Dietary Restraint Identify Underreporters of Energy Intake in Dietary Surveys?
Rennie, K.L.; Siervo, M.; Jebb, S.A. (2006)Underreporting is endemic in most dietary studies and ways to reliably identify individuals who may underreport energy intake are needed. Whether questions on self-reported dieting and dietary restraint, in addition to ... -
Childhood obesity prevention studies: lessons learned and to be learned
Livingstone, M.B.E.; McCaffrey, T.A.; Rennie, K.L. (2006)Objective To provide an overview of methodological issues in the design, delivery and evaluation of childhood obesity prevention programmes. Design Review of existing literature. Setting International. Results Interventions ... -
A combined heart rate and movement sensor: proof of concept and preliminary testing study
Rennie, K.L.; Rowsell, T.; Jebb, S.A.; Holbourn, D.; Wareham, N.J. (2000)Heart rate monitoring has previously been used as a technique for measuring energy expenditure (EE) in field studies. However, the combination of heart rate monitoring with movement sensoring could have theoretical advantages ... -
Dietary determinants of childhood obesity : the role of the family
McCaffrey, T.A.; Rennie, K.L.; Wallace, J.M.; Livingstone, M.B.E. (2008)The article reviews the evidence regarding the role of the family in determining dietary risk factors for childhood obesity. The factors that may contribute to the association between healthy eating habits and dining with ... -
Differences in bone mineral status between urban and rural Chinese men and women
Gu, W.; Rennie, K.L.; Lin, X.; Wang, Y.; Yu, Z. (2007)Background: Few studies have investigated differences in bone health and associated lifestyle factors between urban and rural populations in countries, such as China, undergoing rapid nutrition transition. Such a study may ... -
Effects of Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity on Heart Rate Variability in a British Study of Civil Servants
Rennie, K.L.; Hemingway, H.; Kumari, M.; Brunner, E.; Marmot, M. (2003)Physical inactivity and low resting heart rate variability (HRV) are associated with increased coronary heart disease incidence. In the Whitehall II study of civil servants aged 45–68 years (London, United Kingdom, 1997–1999), ... -
Energy density of the diet and change in body fatness from childhood to adolescence : is there a relation?
McCaffrey, T.A.; Rennie, K.L.; Kerr, M.A.; Wallace, J.M.; Hannon-Fletcher, M.P.; Coward, W.A.; Jebb, S.A.; Livingstone, M.B.E. (2008)Background: The contribution of energy density (ED) of the total diet to increased risk of obesity from childhood into adolescence is unclear. Objective: We assessed the relation between the ED of the diet in childhood, ... -
Estimating energy expenditure by heart-rate monitoring without individual calibration
Rennie, K.L.; Hennings, S.; Mitchell, J.; Wareham, N.J. (2001)Heart rate monitoring has been shown to be a valid method for measuring free-living energy expenditure at the group level, but its use in large-scale studies is limited by the need for an individual calibration of the ... -
Estimating under-reporting of energy intake in dietary surveys using an individualised method
Rennie, K.L.; Coward, A.; Jebb, S.A. (2007)Under-reporting (UR) of energy intake (EI) by self-reported dietary methods is well-documented but the methods used to estimate UR in population-based studies commonly assume a sedentary lifestyle. We compared estimated ... -
Increased 24-h Energy Expenditure in Type 2 Diabetes
Bitz, C.; Toubro, S.; Larsen, T.M.; Harder, H.; Rennie, K.L.; Jebb, S.A.; Astrup, A. (2004)The aim of this study was to determine whether overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes have higher basal and 24-h energy expenditure compared with healthy control subjects before and after adjustment for body ... -
